Hauppauge HVR-4400

Hauppauge HVR-4400

[Jan Möbius]

Hi,

im trying to get a Hauppauge HVR-4400 working on a Debian squeeze. It seems to 
be unsopported yet. Is there any driver which i don't know about?

If not i would really like to help getting it supported (information, 
testing,...)

Some information i get from the card:

Hauppauge HVR-4400 ( should be some kind of 4000 but with a pci-express 
interface )

The driver trying to access the card is cx23885 and it does not know the card 
and therefore falls back to generic.

If i force the driver to use the card HVR-1800 i get the following kernel log:

There is no support currently for that card, and since it uses a
demodulator for which there is not currently a driver, much more work
will be required than simply adding a new board profile.

Oh wow I didn't know Haupauge had released some new models above the 2200.
http://www.hauppauge.co.uk/site/products/prods_hvr_internal.html
Is this 4400 exactly the same as the HVR-2200, aside from the 
demodulator used for it's DVB-S/S2?
I hope so, that way work being done on the 2200 can flow onto this! 
(cept for DVB-S/S2)

It's completely different.

Bummer!!!  :(
Why'd they have to go & use a completely different architecture, lame.

It's just business, get used to it. If you don't like their stuff then buy a 
different product. Vote with your wallet. That's the power you have as a consumer.

Just seems counter-intuitive to use an entirely diff. platform.
 From a business perspective....

Well, DVB-S/S2 seems to be finally supported using a current kernel (3.11).

I get the following files under /dev/dvb/adapter0:

demux0
dvr0
frontend0
net0

w_scan also works (as described here[1]).

But the card has multiple tuners (DVB-T/C and analogue as well) which are
not recognized.

Is there any information I can give you to help support this card?

I have little experience in C but no experience in programming hardware, but
am willing to help in anyway needed.

Kind regards
Christoph

Ok, that DVB-C part was crap, there's no such tuner onboard. But there's
an analogue tuner onboard which seems to be recognized by the current
kernel:

But I have no video device listed under /dev.

Is there any information on the analogue tuner and how to get it working
or some information on how to start write a driver?
I would like to try to put something together - probably killing the
card. ;-)

Any help and information on that topic is appreciated!

Kind regards
